When rejection falls at 6:12pm on 12-12-12, the last symmetrical day of the century,
does it make a sound?
Unfortunately, the screenplay version of my novel-in progress, Peach Seed Monkey was not chosen for the Sundance January Screenwriters Lab.
Thanks for all your well wishes and thoughts from a far
over the past four months of waiting.
I’ll hold on to them for the next phase.
I’ve not been alone in this, and that helps. Friends help.
As many of you said: it is an honor that I made it to the second round.
You know me and signs ~
No small thing that this Sundance news came in tandem with an uplifting email from my novel revision coach,
where she celebrates 12-12-12 and shares others tricks of dates in the new century.
I was SO grateful for the lovely distraction which sent me off to look deeper at the numbers associated with the rejection
More fun than moping, that’s for sure:
12/12/12 (1+2+1+2+1+2=9)
6:12PM (6+1+2=9)
So there we have it. The cool number 9 with all it’s mathematical magic.
We all remember the multiplying wonders of 9:
6 x 9 = 54,
reduce 54 to a single digit by adding them together:
5 + 4 = 9…Blows my mind…
17 x 9 = 153,
1+5+3= 9.
Another fav: when you add 9 to any other number,
then reduce that number to a single digit, it always
comes back to itself, as if nothing was added at all.
5 + 9 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5
Math aside…I like the idea that 9 is the number of
Patience ~ Meditation ~ harmony
Inspiration and
~ The Perfection of Ideas ~
We can all use some-a that.
Notes coming soon from my coach to start novel re-visons.
Hallelujah.
Meanwhile ~ What can you share
about the number 9
to keep this distraction
moving in the right direction ?!

First, I am sorry you didn’t make the Sundance lab; however, in the big picture, it means nothing. You have a clear, unique, compelling voice that will carry you far beyond this disappointment. I look forward to when you look at this and see that this lab would have been a stumbling block to where you’ve come. Because that’s where this MS is going, far beyond.
As far as 9…love the number, love the “distraction,” love The Beatles use of it, love all your math info (amazing!), & love that you know this is an auspicious day, so trust it’s auspicious news on that day…and at that moment in time. How perfect!
So when you’re done with 9, get back to that wonderful MS & know the signs are favorable.

Hi Anita~ just got off a great call with Eric Lofholm and one of the best take-aways for me was that the past does not equal the future! What you expect tends to happen, so be outcome focused and stay consistent.Hope this helps~Joy be with you!SusanPS 9 is my lucky number!

Anita, it is quite a rare honor to have been in the running for such a thing, anyway, that is quite something to have. But perhaps it would have been a digression from your real work, your book, finding out what you really want to say in your novel, that voyage of discovery in your soul. I imagine you have some important things to discover and learn that might have been lost if you had been taken out in that other direction by external happenstance. You could have been taken way away from some important work more strictly of your own that you need to do had you wound up working in that other milieu. Such turns in the road most often are for the best when you look back at them later, from down the road a piece as you travel further on.

Hi Anita – Just to let you know it’s appearing at the bottom now! Maybe it was here all along? It’s prominent, easy to see. All good! Love, Jean
